What would @dieworkwear.bsky.social think of the cut of this tux?

Pascal's Happy Wager

A two-by-two table. The columns are "You are kind" and "You are unkind". The rows as "They are kind" and "They are unkind."

If both parties are kind: Bingo! More people are happy, more productive interactions.

If they are kind and you aren't: They feel worse, are less likely to collaborate and share. And how do you feel about it?

If they are unkind and you are kind: Roll a D20 to win them over. Maybe you will! Would being unkind to them make you feel better?

If both are unkind: Any good outcomes from that? Did anyone get what they wanted? Or feel good about who they are?

A screen from MUTHR from the movie Alien. Green text on a black screen reads, "PRIORITY ONE
INSURE RETURN OF ORGANISM FOR ANALYSIS
ALL OTHER CONSIDERATIONS SECONDARY
CREW EXPENDABLE"

I tried, but couldn't get a contract.

Not sure I want to engage

Prior art suggesting a) yes, the dracula and the wolfman can be friends 2) they have to displace the Spear of Longinus first

A black-and-white old movie still with a cheap wolfman and Dracula both making faces sort of at the camera

An image of the Moon with a twin-bladed spear (the Spear of Longinus fron Neon Genesis Evangelion) sticking straight up from it.

Frick is not usually one to chase the sun but it found her.

A small grey tabby cat with some fringe highlights dozed in a tan, soft chair. She is on her right side with her belly facing us, hind legs splayed out, and her smushed up against an arm of the chair.

I mean, look at this first-person, handheld wandering. (Not coming down on the journalist, on the situation.)

A screen grab of a YouTube video of wandering around a mostly darkened, mostly abandoned Mall with a few lights here and there. Very Lynchian.

Still getting my my home decor settled

A white brick fireplace mantel with two art pieces, one a black and white print of “La beaute est dans larue” (a theme of the 1968 Paris student uprising) and a print of a face with “we are punks”, flanked by two small, framed photos.

I'm not sure why, in an honest world, this would be flagged as "bad news for crypto". Shouldn't sentencing of a convicted fraudster be seen as helping move the industry to a bit of legitimacy? (I'm not that naive, btw.)

A heading "Chinese exile once linked to Trump strategist gets 30-year sentence in $1 billion fraud", with a "Negative" mark on it.

The techbro percentage? I feel you.

Whitney, after his zoomies.

A creamsicle kitten (white paws and chest and belly, orange tabby stripes elsewhere) is conked out on his side, facing the camera, but almost entirely asleep.

I'm feeling a bit chuffed, though the techbro levels worry me.

78% Woke
53% Techbro
52% Hopepilled
80% Davos

What the fresh hell is this. I mean, it looks like a hack.

Former journalist who was around during the US dot-com boom here. We can be charitable with this statement, but I did see plenty of journalists co-opted by money, to the point they lost their critical thinking and objectivity.
